Enable Rovo
Rovo is Atlassian’s AI layer. When Rovo is enabled on your Jira site and your users have Rovo access, Foundation exposes a conversational agent that can create, update, and analyze lens data for you.
This page covers what a site admin needs to do once.
Check whether Rovo is available
Section titled “Check whether Rovo is available”- Open Jira Settings > Products > Rovo.
- If you see a Rovo overview page, Rovo is available on your site. If you see an upsell page, your Atlassian plan does not yet include Rovo.
- Rovo is bundled with Atlassian’s Premium and Enterprise plans on eligible tiers. Check Atlassian’s Rovo pricing page for current availability.
Turn Rovo on for users
Section titled “Turn Rovo on for users”- In Jira Settings > Products > Rovo, click Manage access.
- Choose which users or groups can use Rovo across the site.
- Save.
Foundation picks up Rovo availability automatically. Users who have Rovo will see an AI entry point in the Foundation toolbar and in the onboarding welcome screen. Users who don’t have Rovo see the same app with that entry point hidden.
Opting Foundation in
Section titled “Opting Foundation in”Foundation is registered with Rovo as an agent provider. No per-tenant configuration is required — once Rovo is enabled, the Foundation agent becomes available in Rovo Chat and in contextual Rovo panels.
What your users will be able to do
Section titled “What your users will be able to do”- Ask the agent to build a lens for a given project or team.
- Ask for portfolio health checks — overdue epics, missing assignees, status roll-ups.
- Trigger bulk changes with a natural-language description, with a confirmation step before anything is written.
Read-only actions run without a prompt. Destructive or write actions always ask for confirmation before executing.
- Preview the Rovo agent with a small set of users before rolling out broadly.
- The Foundation agent respects the same lens and Jira permissions as the UI — it can’t do anything the requesting user couldn’t do manually.
